A movie based on the non-fiction book on the formation of id Software is being made into a TV movie for Showtime. This could actually be decent. It will most definitely be better than the Doom movie. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'm looking forward to this, I loved that book.

How about Anthony Michael Hall for Carmack.

I wonder who's going to be playing Scott Miller in the movie? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dopefish.gif

Joe, who lived through a lot of it, said it was pretty accurate.

George - Jack Black

Scott - Edward Norton

I doubt they'll even be in it, well maybe Scott he was mentioned alot. So would play Romero and Tom Hall?

Andrew WK for Romero!

Any updates?

[Mongorian]

God, I hope this is narrated and filled with lines like "They coded late into the nights", like that godawful book was. That would make this hilarious.

[Dead Meat]

Hmm...curious. :D

[John]

Will the movie be running on the D3 engine or will they be hiring actors? :p

[Tetsuro]

Dammit John, don't give them any ideas!

Nope, Source.

[Deth]

Too bad I don't have Showtime...

[John]

I do, so I'll be watching this for the hell of it. (Pun intended)

[Vivi]

Is this even still in the works?

Yes, using the Megatexture technology, and some other heavily enhanced graphics fully supporting OpenGL
And it will be recorded with an improved licensed version of FRAPS in 40 FPS

hopefully not

Maybe, but I think that Keanu Reeves would be a better choice for Romero! ;)


As for Carmack, I'm thinking along the lines of Alessandro Nivola.:)

oh...oh god, don't. Don't say that, jesus christ. That would be the most horrible thing ever filmed in Hollywood.

Sunrise Adams as Romero's wife?

No the broke up in 2003. Raluca Alexandra Pleşca (http://romero.smugmug.com/gallery/138855#5076338-L-LB) is his current wife.

Yes, I know that, but the events depicted in Masters of Doom didn't take place recently.

In fact I'm pretty sure that he hadn't even met killcreek yet.



Anyways, I'm sure geeks alike really eat this movie up. I don't think that there has ever been a film made quite like this-a story based on a computer game developer.

I can't think of any better company to base it on.

Well, except 3D Realms of course. I'd love to see a retelling of DNF's developement. WID of course.


Edit: Never mind, that last idea would probably take ten years to shoot and end up being about ten hours long.

Make it a mini-series and have David Lynch direct it -> Twin Peaks in Texas.

I can see it now, "Cooper" Levelord quits Ritual and uses his magical bong to travel back in time and investigate the DNF mystery.
Starring: George Broussard as Sheriff Harry S. Truman, Scott Miller as Benjamin Horne, Joe Siegler as deputy Andy Brennan, Charlie Wiederhold as Bobby Briggs, Brandon Reinhart as Leo Johnson and Duke Nukem as Laura Palmer.

Has any of the recent posters realized how old this thread originally is?

[X-Vector]

No, we're all blissfully ignorant.
